If we can't beat this Carlton squad next week then we are definitively not top 4 capable.

    Poor kicking Is poor football. And in the end we didn’t win. Yep and in between the dogs and pies beat us. It’s not rubbish, just keep at us and we will crumbly in the last quarter. We kicked 2 goals to 4.2 in the last. Nothing poor there just outscored in fact doubled our total. 

    old dee - maybe you should just book an overseas holiday for September right now preferably somewhere without internet

    See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting.

    The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play.

    What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.

    Christian is inept, and biased with an extra conflict of interest this round.

    North given up

    There goes 3rd spot

    We sacrificed our “entitlement” over the last 10 weeks.  Do we want it back enough?  Does Max and the crew really want to deliver us a flag at the G, or would they just like to?  Over to you, team.

    It’s always handy when you get to play norf twice in one season 

    Cats got Norf and Eagles twice, as well as their gift of home ground advantage second to none.

    If we beat Carlton but we lose to Brisbane it’s looking very likely we’ll play Richmond at the G for an elimination final. A loss there could set in some PTSD for a lot of us.

    As much as a love seeing Carlton being flogged, I would much prefer they didn't let Brisbane accumulate percentage so easy.

    Carlton's form is rotten

    Brisbane's goal kicking is pathetic

    Reasons to be optimistic before we play them both

    I don’t understand how the bump works. Cripps chose to bump someone in the air, knocks him out, and everyone says it’s not an issue?

    If you chose to bump aren’t you responsible for what happens?

    Carlton are a media hype team this year so everything is OK.

    sounds like they are trying to protect the ‘protected species’. Looked crude to me, even Cripps looked a bit shaken after the incident.

    Nearly took his head off. The Lions player was in the air so couldn't brace for impact. Should get multiple games

    Those commentators! 

    Cripps left the ground, bumbs from behind/side, hits the head, didn’t get near the ball, Che subbed out.

    Mathews says going for the ball all should be fine, the rest follow.

    Where is the 'duty of care.'

    At least 2 weeks.

    Players are responsible, that's just the way it is now.  Matthews, Darcy & Hodge are too old school

    He'll get cited and could be 2 games out.  Maybe 3.   Looked blatant to me

    Ah Chee was subbed off as well

    Cripps is in trouble

    Unbiased view as well as I recognise that we play them next week

    If they apply the correct classifications there's no way he avoids suspension.

    Carlton Rucks are De konning and Silvagni, u gotta be kidding. Just watched Crapps bump again, he should go for 2 at least but being the Poster boy itl be.... nothing to see here. If it was Byron Picket he'd get 8. Wait on make it 10

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
